How to add a new language

If you are interested to add a new language, please open an issue with the information requested in:

• languageName, languageCode, beforeColon, description and numberFormat in https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/config/_default/languages.en.toml
• name entries in https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/config/_default/menu.en.toml

Someone from Let's Encrypt will add the language to Crowdin so you can start translating on https://crowdin.com/project/lets-encrypt-website

When enough pages are translated, someone from Let's Encrypt will create the first pull request:
